ing to find something with which TO stay
the gnaWing at his vltals.
There are many thousands of human be-
ings busy making the camp, and very little
food. But the grain was coming, coming
as fast as oxen could drag it, and the
many hungry people, elate with hope,
struggled braVely against death. In all
that vast and starving crowd there was no
murmur. Once or twice animporGunate
woman would catch my leg and ask
whether it were true that the grain was
coming. No shudder of horror electrified
their frames when thrice each day the
carts laden with dead WoulI pass from
out of camp and dump the bodies in
long trenches. At last the grain train
came. Every pauper outside the camp
was driven in and securely locked up
within the fence. The grain was IN
| lOaded-but the food they SO anxiOusly
wanted to eat was denied many one.
The strain in many instap ces was too
great. The Joy was too violent, and in
sight of plenty they died. After the ar
rival of the grain the camp was organ
! iZeG and two daily doles wera made-one
in the morning and one in the evening.
The dole consisted of rice and chile
water, and after the first days food
| the mortality in the camp was
| frightful. 1t rose to ever 1000
a day. The paupers were ranged in
long lines; each was furni, he'd with a
platter, into which was thrown the rice,
and then sprinkled with chill water. Ere
the hand could convey tie food to the
mouth the eXpectant eater T. Ould be dead {;
others, while gulping dow their food,
would be seized with COMMISSIONS; some
who had finished their rice would Iinger
an hour or so, their stomach swollen to
an incredible size, and die re- ng maniaCs /;
some would dash their hea ) against the
| ground, delirious with Joy In every
horrid shape stood death-teath in every
revolving and hideous form.
| The public works started for the relief
of famine paupers were simply useful to
contractors as mOney-maEn ventures.
OF their utility to the government every
one in the Tinnevelly distriu5 doubted. A
large reservoir was made under the SUI
periAtendency of the public works de-
partment, and one or two roads were I'M
dertaken, but it was pIa! ng at work.
Frauds were being perpetr ted on every
/ side; the Tehsiidars or native collectors
began to purloin rice; the worthless na-
tive doctors put in huge supply lists
where port wine, brandV, sage and
arrowroot consplcuously dgured but
neither the solicitude of the hospital de-
partment. the potency of the brandy, nor
the strengthening influence OF arrowroot
and sage could keep alive people who
were practically dead. At one time it
seemed that no human erdesvor could

ton. The food supply was gradually di-
minishing, and orders were being fire.

The distress was spreading to other
taluks and it appeared that the govern
ment would soon be called upon to feed

and, therefore, it was necessary to cur
tail the supply. This measure again in
crossed the mortality, and the death rate
stood higher than ever. Virulent diseases
broke out, small p0x ragged furiously, the
hospital attendants opened the hospital
pers and fed; the sore covered patients
invaded the camp, got out of the inclOs-
ura and spread the disease to a frightful
extent. For nearly month there was 8
total lack oforder.
In vain the European officials attempted
to restore courage and discipline.
CIT is the fate of God that these people
should perish" would the Tehsildar re-
mark. "Save yourself, Swami. You
cannot fight God. The only thing that
will restore courage is rain-if God would
send Us but one shower. Then shall we
be saved" 49,
II was useless to insist that Providence
lay in effort. "Swami, our hands are
tied. God alone can assist US. Will rain
be present at our last appeal?"
The Tehsildar made his request in
strangely agitated manner. He.w was a
Vishnuite Brahmin, very learned man,
an efficient officer, and imbued with
heresy. 1 asked him what the appeal was
Il
years ago told the collector that we
should have q famine. Once IN every ten
years there Is famine. In l889-9O there
will be another one worse than this. 1t
is the law Of the land. The Brahmin
priests told the people to save
their grain. Some have done so.
Their words came true-no rain fell
But yet they hoped. Rain, said they,
will fall next year. Again the season
passed, and not drop of rain did God
send US. Then came this year, and
daily we have watched, daily we have
prayed for rain. Our rivers, one by one,
ran dry, our tanks became Waterless, our
wells have all disappeared. Thirst is not
the only torture we suffer. But in the
temple there is a spring whose waters
are fast drying. Tonight at shutdown we
shall take the water that IS left and make
ibation to the offended God. Will you
come? 1t will strengthen and help the
people,"
As the sun sank that night the priests,
bearing jar of the precious water, es-
corted by hungry, sOre-afltcted throng
to beat of drum and tinkIe of cymbal,
made the libation.
"WeIl, Tehsildar," l said, "and what if
yet no rain-and your last water gomez"
1.-THE rain will come, Swami" was his
calm reply. owe felt it yesterday morn
ing"
The Tehsildar spoke but too truly, for a
few days afterWard the heavens broke in
deluge and the country was flooded
From the TinneVelIy district 1 was sent
to the Shevsray hills, in Central Madras,
to organize relief measures; from
thence to the northwest, where the dis
tress was very acute. Thus for two
years and half, 1 was placed in the
most distressed portions of India. That
the Indian government was in some
measure to blame for it's apathy in not
early recognizing the distress there can
